What Gear is Universally Adored?
@holmz - totally agree with you about 'World Series', when the only teams that can compete are US and Canadian, and for a long time, only US. I'm a Yank and I always thought that name was ridiculous. The World Cup, on the other hand, involves the ... 
What Gear is Universally Adored?
I had both a DAVE and an M-Scaler and I sold them both. Something about the Chord sound just doesn't do it for me, so I guess it's not 'universal'!  @yogiboy - you should see some of the McIntosh threads - some people just hate the brand and cons... 
Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band.
@bdp24 - a totally awesome track is 'Moon Tune' off of one Nick Gravenites album, forget which one, with some of Bloomfield's best playing I've heard.   
Equi=Core 1000
@dpop - Oh, it came through - I got your point. I was just suggesting you might want to contact Walter at Underwood Hi-Fi, as I believe they are the only distributor of these, and he can probably tell you about what's going on with the naming and ... 
Equi=Core 1000
@stevebohnii - the only other power conditioner I've tried is one I got for a few hundred dollars from Amazon. I wouldn't have even bothered with a power conditioner except for that amp with the unacceptable noise floor, as I've never had any audi... 
Equi=Core 1000
@dpop - go to the website for Underwood Hi-Fi and you should be able to read all about Equi=Core and Deep=Core....

... and the opinions of edcyn, boxcarman, and tonix are every bit as valid as the opinions of any of those others listed. Can't tell somebody they're wrong if they don't happen to like something that you do. I don't like jazz (for one example) - ... 
Equi=Core 1000
I have an Equi=Core 1000. I got it because I'd gotten a tube headphone amp that had an unlistenably-bad noise floor through my previous power strip. I got the Equi=Core as that's what the amp-maker said he uses. It improved the noise floor ever so... 
Personality Type?
@steveindy - check out a live Blondie show. Clem Burke is generally in the middle towards the front, with spotlights on him as well as Debbie. Clem is a superb drummer who is a lot of fun to watch....

Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band.
@bdp24 - Roger had a lot of love for John Prine and his music - they actually got to be friends while John was still here - so he likes a lot of music that is nothing like his own....  
My Lifelong Quest to Make my Expensive Rig Sound as Good as $500 Headphones
I have both a headphone system and a 2-channel system and enjoy both of them immensely.   
The Mars Volta presented the first album in 10 years "The Mars Volta"
Maybe I'll like this one. They always do interesting music - I tried to get into their earlier stuff but the songwriting just didn't do it for me...  
are we also coffee connoisseurs? Or wine enthusiasts?
Cannabis enthusiast here! Never liked the taste of coffee and am not drinking alcohol these days, 'cause beers I like (British cask-conditioned real ales) are too hard to come by....   
The Risks of Buying Demo Gear
I buy store demos whenever possible, and I only had a problem once, when a pair of headphones looked a lot more like 'very used' than a 'store demo', but I contacted the dealer and said this should be selling as 'used', not 'demo', and I sent them...
